"UnitedHealth's Options Pain Lingers"

"It's tough to get rid of everybody after an options scandal. You want someone running the company. But as we see today with UnitedHealth Group (UNH - commentary - Cramer's Take), if you got options that were predated, you are as good as dead, regardless of innocence.

I mean was there any real doubt that the press would relent on UnitedHealth when it came to light Stephen Helmsley, Bill McGuire's number two, received options dated from before he got there? When I read that in the McLucas report, I said to myself, "Sure, we need someone to run the company. But it can't be anyone with any sort of taint."

Maybe it will "blow over" now that McGuire's out. But this options-backdating scandal has not, for any company, blown over yet. I have to believe the Securities and Exchange Commission wants everyone who could be involved broomed, and broomed now. I would like to think that the SEC somehow checked off on Helmsley staying, but I don't believe it did.

It's funny, when you have an issue like this one, which is so clearly wrong, now that we have read the McLucas report, you know that fallout is never going to be limited to one or two guys. If you got backdated options of any sort, don't even try to hang on. Just resign. UnitedHealth would have bottomed yesterday if the company had made a clean sweep. Instead, now we have to endure another month's worth of bad press before Helmsley's booted, too.

It's inevitable. What's the point of fighting it? UNH, get the pain over with and move on. You are a better company than this. "

At the time of publication, Cramer was long UnitedHealth Group.

William McGuire, o CEO da UNH, vai abandonar a empresa. O que estará na origem desta saída é a notícia divulgada sobre alguns problemas com as "stock options", algo que começa a ser comum nas empresas cotadas nos States.

Curiosamente, é uma das acções preferidas do Cramer. Concordo com a tua análise, uma ruptura dos 47 dólares colocam-na numa excelente situação técnica. Eu talvez espere por um "pullback" (numa confirmação do reteste com sucesso) para a comprar, caso a ruptura aconteça.

Um abraço,
Ulisses

Pertencendo a um sector dito como defensivo, com a MACD a ficar positivo e os indicadores de Directional Movement a inverterem e o ADX a virar para cima, está a ficar com um bom aspecto técnico.
Será que os problemas com as stock options vão estragar a figura?
Qual a vossa opinião.
